What Makes Indoor Infrared Saunas Different
Indoor infrared saunas use a different heating method than conventional steam or wood-burning units, and understanding that difference helps you choose the right model.
How Infrared Heat Works
Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you to high temperatures, infrared saunas emit radiant heat that is absorbed directly by the body. This allows the cabin to operate at lower ambient temperatures, usually between 120°F and 150°F, while still producing a deep, penetrating warmth.
FAR Infrared vs. Full Spectrum
Most entry- and mid-range indoor infrared saunas use FAR infrared panels, which emit the longest wavelength on the infrared spectrum. Full-spectrum models add near and mid-infrared wavelengths to the mix. The Golden Designs Toledo 6-Person Indoor Hybrid Sauna is a notable example of a full-spectrum model that pairs the PureTech infrared technology with a Harvia traditional stove for households that want both heating styles in a single unit. FAR-only models, such as the Golden Designs Dynamic San Marino 2-Person Low EMF FAR Infrared Sauna, are also a good choice for anyone who wants a simple yet high-quality infrared sauna unit.
If you are also considering an outdoor sauna for a backyard installation, Norse Steam carries a full range of those as well.
Low EMF Technology and What It Means
EMF stands for electromagnetic field, and all electric appliances produce some level of it. Low EMF infrared saunas are engineered to reduce emissions from the heating panels to minimize occupant exposure during sessions. The Golden Designs Dynamic Barcelona 1-2 Person Low EMF FAR Infrared Sauna, for example, is built with energy-efficient, low-EMF panels and Canadian Hemlock wood. Buyers who want to prioritize this feature can browse the dedicated low EMF infrared sauna category for a focused selection.
What to Look for in Product Specifications
When comparing low-EMF models, look for the listed milligauss (mG) readings in the product specs. Reputable manufacturers, such as Golden Designs and Dynamic infrared saunas, test their panels independently and provide these figures. If you prefer the higher-heat experience of a wood-burning or electric heater setup, explore the traditional saunas category for alternatives.
Choosing the Right Size and Capacity
Capacity is one of the most practical decisions you will make when selecting an indoor infrared sauna, and it has a direct impact on both the footprint and the long-term usefulness of the unit.
Single and Two-Person Models
Compact models in the one- to two-person range are the most popular choice for home use. They require the smallest floor space, consume less energy per session, and heat up quickly. The San Marino 2-Person model is a well-regarded option at this size, built from Canadian Hemlock and designed for efficient solo or partner sessions. These units fit comfortably in a spare bedroom, basement corner, or home gym.
Larger Family-Sized Models
For households that want to sauna together, multi-person models offer bench space for four to six occupants. The Toledo 6-Person model is the largest in the Norse Steam indoor infrared lineup, offering full-spectrum heating and a hybrid traditional option for those who want versatility at a higher capacity.

Materials, Construction, and Features
The quality of an indoor infrared sauna comes down to the wood species used, the panel configuration, and the included amenities that shape the daily experience.
Wood Species and Build Quality
Canadian Hemlock is the standard wood for Dynamic Series models and is valued for its natural resistance to moisture, light color, and dimensional stability during repeated heating cycles. It does not off-gas chemicals at infrared operating temperatures, which is an important consideration for enclosed indoor spaces. Some higher-tier models use other softwoods or have treated interiors, so check the product specs before you make a payment.
Interior Features and Controls
Most indoor infrared saunas in the Norse Steam catalog include built-in chromotherapy lighting, interior reading lights, and digital control panels accessible from both inside and outside the cabin. Audio features such as Bluetooth connectivity and MP3 auxiliary inputs are common on mid-range and above models.
In addition, the interior benches are made from Canadian Hemlock to match the cabin walls, and door configurations vary between tempered glass and solid wood depending on the model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FAR infrared and full-spectrum infrared saunas?
FAR infrared saunas emit only the longest wavelength of infrared light, which is the most common configuration in home saunas. Full-spectrum models include near- and mid-infrared wavelengths to provide a broader range of heat penetration. Both are effective, so the right choice depends on your personal preferences and budget.
Do indoor infrared saunas require special electrical wiring?
Most home infrared saunas are designed to run on a standard 120V household outlet, though larger multi-person models may require a dedicated 240V circuit. Always check the electrical requirements listed on the individual product page before purchasing and consult a licensed electrician if you are unsure about your home's capacity.
How long does it take for an indoor infrared sauna to heat up?
Infrared saunas typically reach their operating temperature in 10 to 20 minutes, which is significantly faster than traditional steam saunas. The exact warm-up time depends on the model size, panel wattage, and the room's ambient temperature.
What type of wood is used in the saunas Norse Steam carries?
The Dynamic Series models available at Norse Steam are constructed from Canadian Hemlock, a softwood chosen for its stability, moisture resistance, and lack of chemical off-gassing at infrared operating temperatures. Specific wood species are listed on each product page.
Can I use an indoor infrared sauna in a small home or apartment?
Compact one- to two-person models are well-suited to smaller living spaces. They require only a small footprint, plug into a standard outlet, and can be assembled without permanent installation. Always measure your available space and compare it against the product dimensions listed on the individual product page before ordering.
